so we are now my two mini mate taking
the BR the meanings of the people with
what I'm on here and myself and a
special guest then yes
[Music]
Racing's with something to eat the meaty
Ilana let me just put it into this beer

so many mini look at them all
we've brought the mini home to a table

here yes we're because if you didn't run
now that'll be coming back here results
you can see how good
[Music]
now look at the mini amazing talk to
some mini table take you night I don't
know it first and then you can do this
but if I'm going to refund forward when
you look up it's giving birth to the
Clintons well at this point once the
hood comes up everyone's about to see
that there's a JDM civic type-r engine
in there which for a classic mini is
quite controversial will they like it or
will they hate it I guess we're about to
find out
live the JDM award but we're a little
bit later I think they're already well
into judging that we're going to see if
the judges are willing to come and have
a look I'd say being it's like a JDM I
bar engine and a JD and many I hope we
would fulfil the requirements for a JDM
award but we're going to see you in the
Honda award by the Volks there's no
other Honda movie there are no other
hominid so so I win that imaginary award
that doesn't actually exist so we have
managed to get here just in time judging
is still under way just we're just
scraping in so it doesn't mean that
we've actually won anything but we are
now eligible to be part of the annual
mini Awards I'll fill this out thank you
very much so we'll put you in the class
seventh row vanadium or over 30 inside
seven up there five seven and you just
your details
yep in here Kalash model right Rover and
go to my lazing great details Neela and
I'll give you a number 98 thank you very
much 9a do the years I was like 1998
Rover the FCC VTech this is Robert hallo
Robert Robert is the enthusiast chairman
of the mini Car Club of New South Wales
and he's one of the judges of course
today this fine example of a vehicle
here is entered in the rover and JDM
category and I'm pretty sure it meets
the criteria for that because it is a
JDM mini but not only that to keep its
integrity it's a Honda engine from a JDM
civic type-r from Japan to make sure
that the car keeps a kind of a resonance
in what its cultural history is so I was
hoping Rob you could give us some of the
are some of the attributes that you look
for when judging a car one of the things
should we concentrate on our show
entrances the effort that's put into the
car for preparation on the day okay okay
so it's not about originality of the car
ends we can judge this hadn't got an
original engine yeah but it's the effort
and presentation and then much effort
you've put into preparing this car to
bring it all it is a show ensuring our
clean have you prepared your car and you
might think it's the best car I'm sure
the other owner they think they've got
the best car as well right
we found the polished residue in the
scene on a mini that's a given
people do not clean that off as well as
they should right so we come along with
their read we'd take it all yeah I go to
the other car
and the owner that cars done that while
they're ahead I might have got chops
chopped up the post I think what we need
to do money check out the competition
can you point us towards our put who am
i up against today just a little wavy
yeah I never never look at the car oh
you're coming to great oh I can't do it
oh here it is here we go oh this is a
nice one look at this are you the owner
of this one young fella no just an
admirer this this again is another world
prepared car a very well prepared the
interior taken a lot of time and effort
oh you look at the interior as well
there okay
oh hello I was just whoa getting that
one already for you right so um I had no
idea that my engines actually irrelevant
this is a cap at our clean your car is
it doesn't matter that you've spent
putting a pension that's not meant to be
in there
I've been vacuumed in that this morning
and I think I'm getting marked down now
boy I can't watch this anymore man it's
like watching it's like watching your
pet being judged before it gets taken to
the slaughterhouse and fed to a horse
I'm also on missing a couple of parts I
hoped my diet was I wouldn't so you use
the the parts that are missing that I
haven't glued on yeah I actually can't
watch this anymore
now I'm Daniel so don't fade away here
we're at the show behind us right now of
course we're being judged how does it
feel to have one of our children are
being judged by the headmaster yeah no
Stan it's it's quite good rather just to
having what you just sent one of our
children no it's good that's nice that
it's here and it works and so many
meanings here in Nice minis and yeah
just really good the crowd seems to like
the car as well and it's very
interesting that they're in the engine
boat right now as you can see yep so as
he told us it is just a matter of how
shiny and clean the car is being a show
and shine yep I didn't quite read the
brief before coming to it that said
we're not here for awards are we with
the journey oh yeah off he goes our to
make his decision of course I'm number
98 so there's a 98 mini so far that are
in the competition and I'm how do you
think we're going to go in and watch
this about half an hour ago and I think
we did a pretty good job actually it's
clean we spoke about this at the start
that a lot of mini purists and stuff
would turn their nose up at it and you
kind of get concerned about what the
many people think about it yeah had this
old mini guy kind of amble up to us and
he said don't like the Honda conversion
it's not like people doing it until I
saw yours now I'm going to do it too and
that was great yeah because it's like
you got five to be you've got you know
that reliability there
obviously I wouldn't do this I think
it's I wouldn't do this for like a 60 or
70 mini but you know there's only a mini
I think they're already kind of in a
category of their own yeah and and now
we've just kind of extended that into a
magical unicorn place definitely a JDM
mini now it definitely is a JD attorney
so we'll see how we go to thy fingers
cost for the JD n category why don't we
go round look at the minute service
while we wait to judging to take place
we're going to have a look around at all
the other mad old mini
[Music]
I was worried about bringing a JDM mini
with a Honda Civic engine to a classic
mini meet but it seems a lot of these
cars have already been modified whether
it's either small things to keep them
running or more extreme examples minis
are historically a modified car but
they've been raced threat from this day
one when they brought them in here
people found a great car and they
started modifying it I've always had a
mini from when I was 18 and I've always
modified it in some little way maybe not
a Honda engine but some modification so
look me personally you shut the bonnet
it's still a mini nobody knows it's not
something under the bonnet different it
might sound a little bit different but
look I think it's great if you don't own
a mini you don't know that the feeling
of owning a mini so the economy you can
have an opinion but if I think it's
evolved no one cares it's so big that's
true yeah and look you see what we've
got nearly it has a mini thing here and
there are some really standard nice car
yeah for you the majority's modified
though there are change one way or
another that's right they've got a
different carburetor on it we've got
different wheels different color they
might have been painted not only you've
done a great job and actually you have
helped advertised their mini sort of
fraternity and look at today it's great
awesome
trying to keep lee thank you my image
alive
